Comments Thread For: Golovkin to return on HBO in February in Monte Carlo

[FrankieClutch]

The laymen boxing fan or casual fan loves watching knockouts...that's why Networks overhype fighters with punching power... it's happened so many times.. it's happening right now with Thurman on Showtime...

Triple G is CLEARLY ducking Andre Ward... it's kind of funny to see the Mayweather-worshipers contradict themselves and call Triple G out on it..but it's aldo funny to see others make excuses for Triple G but have been the same to say Floyd is ducking Manny...

Let's stop making excuses.. Triple G is going to be 33 and has fought no one of notoriety.

How? GGG is in line for a huge payday against either the Cotto-Canelo winner or Chavez Jr. Why would he fight Ward with those fights lined up?

I highly doubt anyone worth a damn would fight Golovkin here.

And WARD ISN'T FIGHTING. He can run his mouth all he wants, but what is he doing about it? He's fighting in courts and turning down the fights he's offered. Why would I care what he says about Golovkin when he isn't taking any steps to make the fight, either.

Ward wants to fight Golovkin so bad? Make an offer. Don't run your mouth about how much you want the fight and do nothing to make it happen. That makes him no different than Santa Cruz saying he wants to fight Rigondeaux and then doing nothing to make that fight happen.

Why everyone wants GGG to go up to fight WARD ? why can`t WARD get down to fight GGG ? GGG is the A side here sorry to tell you guys that , WARD is fighting where he feels best - 168. not going up to get murdered by several LHW who called him out.
and if you say GGG wants 154 fighters and its a missmatch and what not , he is the one that needs to go to the weight and if he can , then he can fight those guys , i bet that WARD is teasing everyone to fight GGG but only on his terms - 168 only. which is BS.
catch weight or GGG weight is the only way to go here for WARD otherwise no way GGG risks everything just to lose UD while being clinched and headbutted all night in a weight missmatch.
**** all this "hes ducking WARD" when WARD doesnt want to come down to 160 , you guys are dumb , you are only ducking if the other guy makes an EFFORT to come to YOU and you run away , not if the other guy wants you to be at a dissadvantage to fight him.
I hope GGG NEVER fight ward @ 168.
mister i wont go 160/164 , but will go 160 for Flyod.

I don't care what weight they fight at... but the fight needs to happen... Cotto, Canelo, Chavez Jr, and Froch give no indication they are fighting Triple G... Ward is the only name out there...

Or are you just happy seeing Triple G turn 33 soon still fighting overrated cab drivers from the U.K. and other washed up Americans?

Sounds like you're making excuses for Triple G.. Ward has stated he wants to negotiate the fight... Triple G said he wasn't interested at the time... Triple G is still fighting cab drivers at 32 years old.. kind of embarrassing...

If Triple G beats Ward, then be becomes pound for pound #1 above Floyd... no question about it... Floyd can't keep fighting these non-ranked guys and still keep that spot...

If Triple G feels Ward should come down to 164.. then that's a reasonable request.. Ward has stated he would go down to 160 and Triple has stated he would move up to 168 for the right fight..so why not meet in the middle... I have no interest in seeing Triple G fight another overrated cab driver from the UK...

If Triple G loses to Ward...he can go back to Middleweight and still be in a position...

I think Ward stated he aint going down to 160 , thats why i dont like the "he is ducking Ward" , if after hes payday fight (cotto/canelo) Ward wants to go down to 164/160 it will be ducking for GGG to decline , but ward staying at 168 and wanting Genady to go up for him is not fair and you know it. its only fair if GGG was searching for ward , not the other way around.

Ward needs to push it then and actually make a damn offer. If Ward makes an offer(s) and team Golovkin turns it down, then he can say GGG is ducking him. If Andre really wants it, he needs to push for it and stop whining.

Ward being a top lb/lb and having 1 fight in over two years is embarrassing.


Personally I want this fight bad. For me all the Golovkin build up leads to a Ward fight. Andre's the one killing this fight though. He's losing all the momentum he had from the S6 by not fighting anymore.

[Grimmer]

If he's fighting Martin Murray then they should make it in the UK. It'd be much better exposure than fighting in a casino in front of 300 people. That fight could sell out the Echo arena in Liverpool.

Not calling you out, mostly agree with your posts, but disagree with the first line about laymen, for instance, Emmanuel Steward was all about KO's. When I was young watching Cassius Clay etc...... I was all about the dancing and science , technical stuff, but now I love the big KO guys especially like the Walters Donaire fight. My guy didn't win but I have a ton of respect for Walters and Will watch him and GGG over some technical ballerina ####.

We can't help the age of GGG, I do agree with what you are saying about his prime slipping away, and this year MUST produce for him or he will soon be leaving it without fighting the best.

My opinion is that he was in the Amateurs too long. I agree the big fight with Ward should happen, but I would rather see that super fight happen on a big scale this time next year.

In the mean while he should KO Chavez Jr in Monte Carlo, he should KO Cotto then KO Canleo then KO WARD.
